Java’s new lambda expressions were added in Java 8. Though they were a fantastic addition to Java, the introduction was not without its problems. The biggest problem being that the syntax of this new feature was radically different from the existing syntax of anonymous inner classes. This blog will be used to document my findings as I become familiar with this great new language feature.

We’ll begin by looking at how to convert an anonymous inner class into a lambda expression inside of a method, and then how to use it outside of the method where it is defined. Next we’ll take a look at how to use them on fields, and lastly we’ll see how to define them on variables.

The best way to understand any language feature is through examples. In order for these examples to be helpful, I’ve had to make some assumptions about the code that is being run. And so, before we get started, we need to explore what assumptions can be made about the code that’s using the lambda expressions.

Java 8 lambdas are the new syntax for single-method interfaces. These lambda expressions can be passed to Collections, or used to create method references, which make them very convenient to use.

This site aims to show you how to use this new feature of Java 8 in your day-to-day work. It will also help you get a better understanding of all the features that come with this language update, and help you make a more informed decision when choosing between all the available options. Once you’ve decided what you want to do with Java 8, this site will also guide you through how to do that efficiently.

javitri – Java 8: A new way of writing code

Java has got a whole new functionality with Java 8. It’s the lambda expression. It is a new way of writing code, which is simple and easy to understand. The best part of it is that the codes written using this syntax are more readable and maintainable.

It all started from the research on Functional Programming. Then Java came up with its own implementation for Lambda Expressions. In this blog, I am going to tell you about all possible ways to use these expressions in real time coding, and how you can leverage it to make your work better. The focus will be more on application development rather than anything else.

Telling more about the features…

Java 8’s lambdas will be a game changer in the way we write Java code. In this blog we are going to describe some of the features and functionality offered by Java 8, particularly those related to lambdas.

Java 8 is a major release for Java and the first release under Oracle’s stewardship. This was touted as the biggest change in Java since generics were introduced back in 2004 with Java 5. Lambdas are at the core of this new release, along with many other features such as default methods in interfaces, type inference for generic types, try-with-resources statement, currency support and much more.

Java 8 has brought to the Java language a powerful new feature, that of Lambdas. A lambda expression is an anonymous function that you can use anywhere a java method can be used. It is just a simple and easy way to write inline functions in Java which makes life easier for both programmer and compiler.

This blog will try to explain the various aspects of this new Java 8 feature so that even if you have no idea or knowledge about what lambdas are, you can still understand them better. The source code for this blog is also available on GitHub .

I will be discussing the new features Java 8 brings to the table. Starting with the basics of Java 8 and working our way up to some advanced concepts. It is not my intent to bore you with these basics, but I do have to give an overview of them so that the next articles make sense.

This article will focus on the what, why and when of lambdas in Java 8. We’ll start by looking at some code examples and then I’ll explain how lambdas work in depth.
